Hey! Welcome to Twitter.
Let us quickly go over some basics.
At the heart of Twitter, there are
small bursts of information called Tweets.
(They are) quick updates like a text message
but a Tweet can be more than just text.
It can include a photo uploaded to Twitter,
a video you can watch inside the Tweet,
or a link to great content on the web.
The stream of Tweets is your Twitter
and you create it by following accounts
that are interesting to you.
When you first join, your Twitter is empty
but during the signup, we will help you find great accounts
that match your interests.
Just pick categories you like, such as
Entertainment, News, Sports, or enter your favourite hobby
and then we will show you some recommended accounts in those areas.
When you click on the Follow button, you will start seeing
Tweets from that account on your Twitter.
Clicking on someone's name or picture
will tell you more about the account.
It will also give you the option to follow or unfollow them.
Following is not permanent. You can always
unfollow accounts that you are not that into
or search for accounts that you may have missed
after you are done signing up.
It is important to know that you do not need to Tweet
to enjoy Twitter.
Many use it just to listen, rather than share.
Once you finish your Twitter profile
by uploading a picture and completing your bio,
consider downloading the app
to take Twitter with you on your smartphone.
It is a great way to stay up to date with
everything you care about while you are on the go.
So, there you have it!
Just click the Next button blow
and we will take you through the rest.
